Hello, from the artistic capital of India 'Mumbai'!
There are so many fans out there
all over the world for Bollywood movies.
Mumbai is the Bollywood movie empire.
Mumbai has always been India’s foremost city
in fostering all kinds of artists.
In this episode, let's celebrate some Indian art.
MF Husain, Tyeb Mehta, F N Souza, S H Raza..
All these renowned artists are associated with
the Mumbai Art Society.
We're at one of the popular art streets called
Kala Ghoda Pavement Streets open-air gallery,
near Jehangir Art Gallery.
Being a lover of colors,
I feel so cognitively creative
by the ambiance of Mumbai art extravaganza.
So many promising artists are
showcasing their art on this street,
and we got to explore this amazing combination of art
and culture for free.
I'm sure, for a person inclined to artwork,
Kala Ghoda is their paradise!
I'm amazed by this visual treat.
There are so many in here;
a day isn't enough!
We are looking at some interesting ones and
the more eye-catching works.
This place is full of artwork
– caricatures, watercolor, acrylic paintings, and many more.
Most of them are doing vibrant, religious, contemporary paintings,
sketches,
and they're drawing live portraits as well.
We can buy them for reasonable prices,
as little as $2, and up to $20.
Art by these artists is no-where less than some well-known artists.
You can see them in action
and even learn from them,
observing their techniques.
They're creating live caricature art
on the spot in no time.
See these kids patiently sitting down and getting it done.
Look at these paintings with geometric illustration sketches.
More paintings of Hindu God
Lord Krishna & Ganesh!
They'd make a wonderful gift for the spiritually inclined.
Some other interesting finds here.
Mehandi art on hands!
Again painting.. body painting!
These are leaves of the Sacred Fig tree.
I'm proud to say that
this delicate artwork of painting on a leaf
is believed to have originated in my homeland Kerala.
Wow look at this..
name on rice!
you can get your name or whatever you want,
painted on a single grain of rice..
And there you go.. Your unique piece of the pendant is ready!
The vibrant colors at this gallery are exceptional.
I should mention their outstanding quality of work!
And I have massive respect for these local street artists.
Exploring these,
I'm splashed with colors!
What about you?
I can't wait to sprinkle it to my canvas!
Happy Painting to you all!
See ya later!
